Director Hugh Hudson maintains a steady hand throughout in this low-key but powerful rumination on faith and reason.
Bruce Demara, Toronto Star
Rotten
Antonio Banderas' admirable performance fails to energize Hugh Hudson's handsome but ponderous period drama.
Joe Leydon, Variety
Fresh
A rote but engaging historical drama about the eternal debate between truth and mythology.
Sherilyn Connelly, Village Voice

In Antonio Banderas, Mr. Hudson has a winning de Sautuola of personal modesty, scientific integrity and paternal warmth.
Andy Webster, New York Times
